As You Are 04:40
Verse 1 The World Says that you’ll never be anyone That you’ll never do anything at all with your life And some say that you’re just not up to par According to the charts you have failed Ask yourself before you buy what they claim Chorus What does God say, What does God do He says, Do not be ashamed that’s how I made you Takes you to his mirror, dries up your tears And He Says Your Beautiful, So beautiful And I love you As you Are, As you are Verse 2 The world Says I am a self made man That I don’t need to understand at all God’s Way’s And Some say, a million bucks is all you need It’ll bring all the joy and peace you need in your life Ask Yourself before you buy what they claim Chorus What does God say, What does God do He says, spread the love within that’s why I made you Shows you what you need, so you can live in peace And He Says Your Beautiful, So beautiful And I love you As you Are, As you are Bridge When the world sees bad, God sees good When some say you can’t, God says you could If you trust in me, trust in me. The World Says six months is all you have to live We can’t find a cure for this, we have tried What does God say, What does God do He says, show the whole world the faith I gave you Takes you to his mirror, Erases all your fears And He Says Your Beautiful, So beautiful And I love you As you Are, As you are Yes He loves you as you are

verse 1 It's the middle of the night I'm searching for some light So here I am down on my knees Should I stay, Should I go So much I don't know Lord I wonder what You want from me Please Lord Give me a sign Chorus Those Giants are calling me Saying I'm a failure Lord I need you, I need a Savior So like a sling shot through the air I'm throwing out this prayer Taking a leap of Faith it hits its mark Oh Lord this is my shot in the dark Verse 2 I listen for your voice Help me make the choice To trust you with things I can not see Hearing Goliath Call Can make a grown man feel so small And the future so dark in front of me Please Lord give me a sign Chorus Those Giants are calling me Saying I'm a failure Lord I need you, I need a Savior So like a sling shot through the air I'm throwing out this prayer Taking a leap of Faith it hits its mark Oh Lord this is my shot in the dark Bridge Then the mountains started to move And the skies turned the clearest blue I felt like I could walk on the sea Now all I want to do, is place my trust in you And to hear you say to keep your eyes on me Final Chorus When the Giants call my name Saying I'm a failure I know I need you, I need a savior So like a sling shot through the air Go and throw out this prayer Taking a leap of Faith it hits its mark Close Your Eyes and Take a shot in the dark Take a shot in the dark.

Verse: The last snows have melted The crops have not yet grown Standing here in the middle of nowhere Feeling right at home This blue canopy above me If it could have its say Could bear witness to this I was born and raised. . . Chorus: Under this open Kansas sky My time and memories go by Camp fires and fishing with my dad Baseball and all the fun we had Staying up late, my friends and I Under this open Kansas sky Verse: Gazing at this open horizon I dream of possibilities Where will my life take me? Where will it lead? Chorus: Under this open Kansas sky My time and memories go by Left home and launched into the world Found a job and found my girl Together we began our lives Scraped by and grew our family ties Under this open Kansas sky Verse: Like this beautiful sunflower sunset That fades in front of me I can't say how many I have left But I'm sure I'll be. . . Chorus: Under this open Kansas sky My time and memories go by We're older and the kids are grown Preparing for our harvest home Amazed how time has flown by Under this open Kansas sky It's fertile fields and countryside In this wide open space I find a peace, I find a place It's where I've lived my whole life And I'm sure it's where I'll die Under this open Kansas sky Tag: Standing here in the middle of nowhere Feeling right at home

The two shall become one Oh how this world don’t have a clue How to Love you To die as Christ died for us Love is sacrifice Love has no needs Show me how to love you Help me see through my Sin Please forgive me for the past within Chorus Father lead me to be The man that she needs So to my wife I can say That she’s my dying way For through his eyes I can see A beautiful mystery Christ Has shown me the way To the love that never Fades The closer I get to God The more I love you. The more I love you. Verse 2 He took me from my comfort zone And gently placed me in his loving arms So I could love you. Then he helped me see through my sin And he forgave me for the past within Chorus Bridge (Verse 3) The two shall become one Till death do us part. These vows I can not keep If God’s not in my heart. In my Heart Please Lord Come into my Heart And Help me see through my sin Please forgive me for the past within Chorus
